    Summary

    Mike couldn't remember a time where he hadn't been afraid of the dark. He was born worn and bruised, fear churning the rot around in his gut. So when Vecna splits Hawkins into four, the Upside Down seeping through the cracks, Mike Wheeler's fear becomes a terrifying reality. And Will Byers has always been the perfect vessel.

    or, a Stranger Things Season 5 rewrite.

    Summary

    There’s something wrong with Will.

    It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.

    No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.

     

    Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

    Summary

    Maybe it’s the lingering adrenaline from the false alarm a moment ago, but Mike suddenly has a bad feeling deep in his gut. Something is off. Slowly, he walks around to look at Chrissy’s face.
    White eyes. Rapid blinking. Unfocused. Unseeing.
    Mike’s terror multiplies tenfold, heart rate ratcheting back up. He blinks and it’s Will standing in front of him, glaze-eyed and shaking, seizing, eyes twitching in their sockets, stuck in a waking nightmare as the Mind Flayer forces itself into every orifice.
    He blinks again and it’s Chrissy, going through the same thing. Or something very similar.
    Fuck. Not now. Not again.

    Or: After witnessing Chrissy's death, Mike finds himself on the frontlines of the latest interdimensional battle—and at the top of Hawkins’ Most Wanted list, as police, crazed townspeople, and otherworldly monsters all vie to get to him first.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.
